Whether you want to listen to music, eat ice cream or play, SeafoodFest has something perfect for all kinds of kids! (Even the big ones!)

Giant Inflatables
Jump, slide, climb and slip. Whales, trucks and slides make for hours of fun. And thanks to generous friends at Philadelphia Church, it’s all free!

Pacific Science Center – Space Odyssey
Explore our solar system without leaving the ground. Kids can learn and have fun at this “hands on” exhibit, courtesy of Mars Hill Church.

Arizona Mobile Rock
Designed to challenge climbers of all levels, the rock is a festival favorite. So go ahead, climb high and survey all of Ballard. And any hotshot making it to the top will win the cash.

Corporate Carnival Games for Kids
Thanks to three of our Event sponsors, kids can play old time games for prizes. Try your hand and win—these games aren’t rigged.

Toy Boat Building
Get out of the sun and build your own boat with the help from the folks at the Center for Wooden Boats and volunteers from the Ballard Lion’s Club. Perhaps we have some budding boat builders in the making—look out Pacific Fishermen.

My ID Club
The King County Police Union once again provide the tools for keeping kids safe and putting parents’ mind at ease. Get your child’s photograph/fingerprint ID card, along with a Child Safety manual free of charge. You can also pick up complementary 911 coloring and activity books, refrigerator magnets, stickers and decals.

Ballard’s Station 18 Firefighters
While we are grateful for all they do to keep us safe, we are especially thankful for their help in keeping us cool at the festival. What could be more fun than a water park right in the middle of SeafoodFest?! Stop by to play in the hoses, check out the engines and get your own personal tour.

Watermelon Eating Contest
Saturday, July 28 at 2 pm on the CommunityStage in Bergen Place Park

Thanks to Ballard Market, kids have an eating contest too! If you love watermelon and think you eat fast, then this is the event for you. Winner takes home a bike, donated by Ballard’s own Bike Sport.  Sorry, grown ups, this one’s only for the kids. 

PLUS the Seafair Clowns and Seafair Pirates, who will make a surprise appearance Sunday afternoon.

And a few booths with stuff especially for kids!
Airbrush Ink – non-permanent airbrushed tattoos
Fish-4-You – stuffed fish and other animals
Jay Dotson Photography – instant magnetic portraits
Marbles Are Fun – round glass orbs for all ages and occasions
Majic Bubble Wand – giant bubble wands
